Owaisi Dares Amit Shah to Contest Against Him From Hyderabad

Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has dared BJP president Amit Shah to contest from Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, stating it is not as simple as “consuming cake”.

Owaisi, the sitting MP from Hyderabad, stated his party would ensure that the BJP lost from Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency, held by Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya, and 5 Assembly seats the saffron celebration has in the city.

“You (BJP) desire to contest Hyderabad … you are welcome. However why are you preparing to field somebody else? You (Shah) come and contest.

“Hyderabad ki seat jeetenge … is it like consuming a cake? We have actually worked a lot here for a number of years,” the three-time Hyderabad MP informed an event here last night, referring to Shah’s reported statement that BJP will win the seat.Ridiculing Shah’s claim that BJP would form its federal government in Telangana after the 2019 Assembly elections, Owaisi stated, “You are dreaming”.”God prepared, we will make sure BJP loses Secunderabad as well as the 5 Assembly seats held by them,”he stated.”I am informing you Mr(Narendra)Modi and Mr(Amit)

Shah … mark my words … we will make sure that BJP is beat from Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat. Individuals of Hyderabad will tell you. You will lose deposit from Goshamahal … you (BJP)will lose Amberpet, Musheerabad, Khairtabad as well as Uppal Assembly seats(in Hyderabad). You will deal with huge loss in Telangana … Insha Allah,”Owaisi added.On Shah’s three-day visit to Telangana, Owaisi stated,” The BJP President is on Telangana tour … there’s abrupt love (that he has established)for Telangana.”The AIMIM leader stated Shah went to Nalgonda and had lunch at a Dalit house about which Chief Minister

K Chandrasekhar Rao said was prepared by a member of a forward community. “Exactly what type of love you(Shah )have? You have food at the homes of Dalits which has been prepared elsewhere.

What kind of love you have for(B R)Ambedkar?” he said.He rejected Shah’s claim that the Centre had actually allocated Rs 1 lakh crore to Telangana, and insisted it got only Rs 24,000 crore.

“Ok, even if you gave( Rs 1 lakh crore)did you offer it from your pocket. We are not beggars … It is our (Telangana’s )constitutional right

to obtain (central funds). It is the right of the Telangana federal government to obtain not simply Rs 1 lakh crore but Rs 10 lakh crore,”he said.Meanwhile, responding to Shah’s obstacle, BJP flooring leader in the Telangana Assembly G Kishan Reddy dared the Hyderabad MP to contest from his constituency Amberpet.” Amit Shah

is based in northern India. There are countless BJP employees here who can beat Owaisi. I attempt him to contest from my constituency Amberpet,”Reddy said.Amberpet was among the 5

Assembly seats Owaisi had actually stated his party would ensure BJP’s defeat.
